In a recent video on YouTube from 00:15:26, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has emphasized that deliverance is not a product of physical effort or emotional strain, but a supernatural act that happens instantly when God speaks.
During a sermon at a recent church service, Adeboye dismissed the notion that spiritual deliverance requires prolonged or dramatic activity, insisting instead that God’s word alone is sufficient.
00:15:28 – “Deliverance does not come with a struggle. If God wants to set you free, all He has to do is speak,” Adeboye declared. “So when we are spending the whole night to cast out a demon, we are out of order.”
The respected cleric went on to challenge common practices in some ministries, where lengthy vigils or aggressive prayer sessions are held for deliverance.
“If you say you want to set a captive free and you must hold a special all-night meeting, that is flesh,” he said. “All that is required for the captive to be set free is for God to speak a word.”
Adeboye referenced the biblical story in Mark 5:3–15, where Jesus encountered a man possessed by a legion of demons.
“Jesus said only one word: ‘Go.’ That was it,” Adeboye said. “You can check it. Just one word—and the demons left. That’s the authority of the Word of God.”
00:16:53 – “I decree in the name that’s above every other name, I decree in the name of Jesus: it doesn’t matter how long you have been tormented by demons, you shall be free today,” he declared with conviction, to the applause of the congregation.
Adeboye concluded by reminding his audience that God’s creative acts—such as the first day of creation—were marked by goodness and simplicity, not complication
